Life update: November and December were big months for me because I decided to do anything I could to uproot a victim mentality that was ruining me, and to take control of my life. God initiated a lot of this, and the acceleration of growth Ive been able to have is incredible and a major testament of His grace. I began fighting tendencies to withdraw from people, and started working to form deep friendships. I read several books on boundaries, communication, healing emotional wounds, shame and vulnerability, trying to feed myself with all of the knowledge and wisdom of which I am ignorant. I read books on handling money (because I have never known how) and made my first ever budget using an envelope system, paying cash for everything. I got a temporary part-time job to help me tackle debt. I was able to buy my family Christmas presents for the first time. I began seeing a therapist (I recommend it HIGHLY for anyone). I began owning my failures and boasting in weakness, loving my real self but still hoping for the ideal. I made my first student loan payment, a HUGE step. I started a daily journal writing down every neat thing I learn about God, life, myself, friends, anything. I bought a PLANNER and actually run my schedule. Life and relationships have improved greatly, and creativity is flowing out much more as I continue practicing vulnerability with myself, God, and my friends. Im growing in love with friends, family and my dear Eliza. AND I just paid off a $1,000 loan in one payment! (partyyyyyy) God is really good! Dont be a victim; it sucks and its boring. You werent made to survive, but to thrive. (If you want to read one of the books I read and change your life, message me!)
